https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/1/8/AAQcMAAADc1G.png

In this campaign, Vicki Vale serves as the head editor of the Gazette, giving us stories about small goings-on in the world and around our base. I am a sucker for these tiny details, this is the sort of stuff that I can sink my teeth into and adore, and Vicki isn't quiet to get into how some minor villain played a major role in someone's life.

On top of that, her campaign debut was excellent. She was hyped up as, believe it or not, a major supervillain, the #2 woman in running a school for the purpose of turning children to the Anti-Life Equation, becoming loyal soldiers of Darkseid. When we found her, she had red eyes, and revealed that she had been disguising herself as an Equated using contacts, simply trying to find a way to survive. And yet the big reveal from this was not that Vicki Vale, traitor to humanity, was actually acting.

The big reveal is that Vicki Vale solved one of the biggest mysteries in the world, that Bruce Wayne is Batman. One of the great secrets of the world, and Vicki knows it, but she had nobody to tell, at least not anybody whom she would benefit at all from telling.

Upon returning with us, she been put in a position where she has the greatest story to ever tell, but is trapped by the burden of knowledge. Knowledge that outing Batman's identity does nothing for her, she won't get accolades or adoration as she would have when the world still functioned. So she sits in her office, writing stories, telling the world the tales that need to be told, and stewing in knowing what she does, but not having any Bruce Wayne to ask the questions that stewing on this knowledge brings up. Vicki is always full of surprises, and it's anybody's guess what she'll end up doing with Batman's identity. I can't wait.
